THE MATE2 SYSTEM CONTROLLER AND DISPLAY
The MATE serves several functions:
•Allows you to monitor the Inverter through a series of convenient display screens. These display the status messages, and allow you to take both DC (voltage) and AC (voltage and current) meter readings.
•Enables you to troubleshoot problems with the Inverter and the rest of your system, by looking up warning and fault messages.
•The MATE allows a user to view, monitor, and establish all the pertinent settings and values that occur while the system is running. From time to time, these settings and values might be adjusted as components are added or upgraded, electrical loads increase, or patterns of usage change. Making these adjustments using the MATE is similar to adjusting any number of electronic devices we use every day. An example is a
The MATE displays two kinds of screens:
•Screens pertinent to the MATE’s own functions, such as its clock and display.
•Inverter function screens (often labeled “FX” screens, after the parent product), which deal with its inverting and charging processes.

Mounting the MATE:
Designed for surface mounting in an indoor location, just below the eye level of a typical user. The MATE’s back cover can be unsnapped and attached directly to the surface. The cover requires four drywall screws or other fasteners to secure it. The MATE is then snapped back onto the mounted back cover.
